Small (20-100 employees) to medium-sized (101-500 employees) organizations do need an HR function. Statistics related to the effective management and continued growth of an organization support this need.
Without professional HR advice from an internal HR professional or an external HR consultant, companies often make costly mistakes that could have been prevented.
Statistics:
•An October 2000 article highlighted some studies showing that one-third of applications or resumes generally contained distortions, embellishments or falsehoods (CNN.com, 2000). What do you think is
happening now with the current unemployment rates??
•Millions of dollars are paid out in awards for harassment and other legal claims against employers every year.
•Improper completion of Federal I-9 forms can lead to fines ranging from $250 to $10,000 per form. A major retailer just agreed to pay in excess of $1 million for not completing the forms properly even though
there was no evidence of improper hiring.

According to data reported in Watson Wyatt’s WorkUSA 2002: Weathering the Storm, “companies with HR functions that employees perceive as effective are more likely to have high trust levels, good
communication, high employee commitment and clear lines of sight, and to effectively manage business change.”
A trained HR professional can bring expertise in recruiting, hiring, employee relations, benefits negotiations and administration, compensation administration, employment law, training, and people strategy. In most
cases, an organization’s employees are its most important resource, and payroll represents between 20 and 30 percent of operating expenses. It makes sense to use a knowledgeable professional or to invest in
training for such an important role.
